This was and is the thrust of the arguement that each of us is looking through the "rose colored" glasses of our viewpoints for our chosen business direction.But in order to carry this on I believe that Eddie's attempt in starting this was not to relive the clash, but to try to find out how each investor "marries" the two or three different viewpoints to maximize the profits.So, I will ask each of you, when your main focus says that a property or deal does not work for your standards, do you even attempt to work the numbers using another method?

That said, I know landlords here in Seattle that have had tough situations thrust on them because of the city code, and I am by no means characterizing Seattle as "Landlord Friendly", I'm just saying that a couple of restrictive laws and a difficult city council aren't enough of a reason for me to NEVER invest in one of the fastest growing cities in the United States.PS: I own 6 short term rentals, 2 of which (the maximum allowable by current city codes) are in Seattle.

@Dennis Pressey Jr It's just annoying that is all, if I don't like a form of advertising, I would prefer not to thrust that upon other people if at all possible. 

Hopefully you get several prospects to go thru st one time.

@Charles Kappe,If your LLC buys the property, the lender will likely do a commercial loan.Technically, though, I'm thinking the property should be owned by a non-profit, given your thrust of being a Sober Living home.Either way, best to get some financial and legal professionals on your team.

Getting fed up and wanting it more than whatever shiny object came along was the thrust.  

When I say that these three things are levers, I need you to understand that you have to know where it is you want to go before you ever try moving to get there.I find that a lot of people are, what a major once explained to me, "all thrust and no vector."

I want to eat, breath, sleep Real estate I am 25 years old and I have no excuse’s on why I can’t or shouldn’t thrust myself out into the real world and not some factory.

I sold some properties off and dropped from the threshold, only to be thrust back in as a realtor....I still don't recommend saying any such thing in writing, in person, or whatever.

Often classified as "Reluctant Landlords" for never planning on having a rental home, but being thrust into the realm of owning one by an unexpected relocation.
